Someone posted that a-4a.jpg, a-4b.jpg c5.jpg, f18.jpg, tucano.jpg and x29.jpg
were available for downloading. I went on this morning and found that there
is no permissions set up yet for those files.

For everyone who asked:
The Skunk Works image archive is accessible by anonymous ftp to
harbor.ecn.purdue.edu in pub/skunk-works/pic. It seems that the images I sent
Phil are read-write owner only, so I guess we all have to wait until Monday
to get the permissions changed.
In the meantime, I am going to be working on getting a second batch of images
scanned this weekend and will send them to the archive on Monday.
Sorry about the mixup.

Something of interest to Skunkers...!
A&E network, Wednesday 01/13, 5pm/9pm (pst) "Our Century":
Part 1 of three profiling "Frontline Pilots",
featuring cockpit footage from an F-117A Stealth
Fighter during Operation Desert Storm.
Hmmm... I wonder if by "cockpit footage" they actually mean gun
camera footage. If not, then this would likely be the first such
scene released for the F-117. I don't recall seeing anything other
than a still photo from the cockpit before.

Uuhh...I don't think so. Since the -117 has no gun (right?), there'd
be no "gun camera" from which to get footage. The video we've seen
from Desert Storm probably comes from the onboard FLIR-recorder. The
way I understand it -- the pilot uses an up- and down-looking FLIR
which displays info on a cockpit flat-screen display. There's a
video recorder connected to this display to record the mission.
The AF screened the tapes and released "appropriate" footage to
the media. Thus, "cockpit footage" is _probably_ more of the same
good stuff we've already seen.
